4 CURIOUS NEcKTIE. John McMaster
has received from Nh. E. c. Shell, formerly
of this city, but now Of San Antonio, Texas,
a unique and peculiar necktie, made from
the skin of o rattlesnake The skin is so
nicely prepared and fashioned into tie so
neatly that at little distance it looks as if
made of gray and black satin or silk. Even
the strap about the neck is Of snake skin,
the whole lined with red silk. Across the
front of the tie, where a pin is usually plac-
ed, is genuine rattlesnale rattle, with FIVE
rattles and button, and Of good size. Al
together, it is great curiosity, but it might
not be desirable for wear if likely to make

FORESTON NOTES.
FoREsToN, Sept. 26, 1887.

OiGolON, OSpG. ~, LOO.
ME. EDITOR Foreston has been
unusually lively to-day. The cause
was a suit brought in Judge Bragdon's
court by Mr.. Saml S. Sparks against
J. J. Evans, Esq, for the rent of some
land. The plaintiff was represented
by Judge j. S. Wilson, and the de-
fendant by Captain a. Levi, two of
your prominent attorneys. After a
long and laborious trial, the jury rem
dered a verdict in favor of the plain
tiff for the amount claimed, S16.75.
Religious services were held in this
place yesterday, both morning and
evening by Rev. Mr.. Mahoney, the
venerable pastor of the Baptist
church.
The Foreston Academy is still in
creasing in members. The Sheppard
Literary Society, so named in honor
Of Governor Jno. G. Sheppard, has
been organized, and is progressing
finely. Tie students will have re-
ception on Friday evening the 7th Of
October,sto which they have invited
the public.
The late cold snap has banished the
white dresses and seersucber coats
from young folks, and brought cloaks
and overcoats into demand.

grading is on the other side Of the

rlyer.
A friend in Salem informs US that
Mr.. GoodmanJ Gamble was severely
and probably fatally injured at the
steam gin OF Nh. Henry J. Wheeler
on September 18th. In coupling on
the shafting to the gin, one of the
screws caught part of Mr.. CANDLES
clothing and before he could be re-
lieved completely wound him around
the shaft. DR.. Woods, who was sum-
moned to attend him, thinks some Of
his ribs are broken loose from the
spine. The latest accounts are that
be is still living, but his condition is
no better.
The military inspection next Friday
will make the day attractive for Man
ningites and persons visiting our town.
The Hampton Light Dragons. Con-
nor Mounted Rifles, and Manning
Guards in their shining uniforms, will
make an appearance conspicuous for
it's elegant attractiveness. All who
can should be present on this occasion
to witness the appearance of the Clar-
endon military. It will not be out Of
place to state here that Captain Levi
expects the members of II Ie Manning
Guards to assemble at their armory
tomorrow evening to make arrange
ments for inspection.

Of my life.
This subject pervaded my mind with
hundred phases of thought, Was it
not possible to change?
Could not cultivate a handsome man

a greater Difference as I addressed her
would recommend me to favor.
By Jove it is impossible; | am as

on the piazza railing looking down upon

whose acquaintance naQ desired With
great interest, as rumor had affirmed that
for some weeks she had been the
fauce of my friend Byrne. Miss Sloan
was not popular in society, having a
cold, reserved manner the complete re-
verse of Byrnes debonnair department:
her face was grave and peculiar, while
her eye rested upon one with an austere
and almost sullen expression. The con-
trast between the betrothed pair was so
striking, that upon any allusion being
made to the strange engagement, one
smiled unconsciously.
Miss Sloan companion and constant
chaperone was a sour visaged aunt. who
guarded her niece with argus eyes, and
well she might guard, as this niece was
endowed with some hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars, a precious financial jewel
in the eyes Of impecunious beaux.

" | can hardly say that I am. During

TO my relief Byrne conducted Miss
Gwynn to the piano, and with polite I'M

Then Miss Pryor was importuned for
song, and seating herselfat the harp, her
tones, sweet and tremulous, Aoated out
through the hushed stiffness of the room.
